B Node Rescue

Service Processor (Physical) Node Rescue

The SP node rescue should be used only in cases when the storage system includes a physical SP
and no nodes remain in the cluster or when all nodes are down.
NOTE: For SP node rescue, you can specify whether to use the public Ethernet port (MGMT) or
the private Ethernet port and a crossover cable.
To perform an SP node rescue:
1. Connect the crossover cable to the SP and to the MGMT port of the node that is being rescued.
2. Connect the network cable to the MGMT port on the SP and connect the free end of the cable
to the Ethernet port on the laptop.
3. Access SPMAINT and in the 3PAR Service Processor Menu, select the following:
4 InServ Product Maintenance
1 1 Node Rescue

3 Automatic Node Rescue, then enter the node number
4. Select y to confirm the correct node number. When communication from the SP to the node
is established, output similar to the following appears:

and becomes part of the cluster. If the process takes longer than twenty minutes, problems
may exist and the node rescue process needs to be corrected.
